HC Deb 03 August 1897 vol 52 c237
COLONEL DALBIAC (Camberwell, N.)

I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether the delay in the issue of the various Appendices to the Report of the Royal Commission on Vaccination is due to the fact that some, if not all, of these Appendices have not yet been presented to Parliament; and whether the several Reports constituting these Appendices have been long in type, and what is the reason why they have not been yet presented?

GENERAL LAURIE (Pembroke and Haverfordwest)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he has ascertained when the remainder of the Evidence and Special Reports on which the Final Report of the Royal Commission on Vaccination is based will be published, and what is the cause of the delay?

SIR MATTHEW WHITE RIDLEY

The Appendices can be presented at once and will probably be circulated in two or three weeks. The delay is attributable to the fact that the necessity for a separate presentation of these Appendices was, through some misunderstanding, overlooked.
